A case study on Application of Geopolymer in Treatment of Efflorescence affected Masonry Walls
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper a case study on effect of geopolymer treatment on an efflorescence affected brick masonry wall is being studied. The wall is subjected to continuous dampness due to toilet on other side, due to which salts leach out creating efflorescence and damage to painting and plaster. To rectify this various moles of sodium hydroxide were coated on each part followed by sodium silicate coating. Geopolymer treatment was finished in march2016. It is evident from the photos taken after2 years and 9 months in December 2018, that this type of geopolymer treatment of efflorescence affected walls is very effective in maintaining appearance and integrity of masonry wall.
